Meat Loaf Ingredients

For this lamb loaf for dogs we have used the following ingredients:

  • Ground lamb
  • Pumpkin puree - we use homemade
  • Carrot - grated
  • Oats - to help bind. We used rolled oats to for a low GI rate.
  • Flaxseed - for fiber and to help bind
  • Parsley - a fresh herbs for dogs and to aid digestion.
  • Egg - another source of protein

Always check with your veterinarian before introducing any new foods into your dog’s diet.

How to make lamb meatloaf recipe for dogs

This is an easy meatloaf for dogs that you could play with the ingredients for your own recipe. Change the vegetables used or swap the binding ingredients for a lower carb or gluten free dog meatloaf recipe.

For the tin, we had some fun and used a doggie bone silicone cake mold but this lamb meatloaf could be baked in a 2lb bread loaf tin. It's more for us than the dogs! They just care that it tastes good than how it looks!

Our silicone dog bone tin

Making this doggie meatloaf recipe is as easy as making a human meatloaf. Just mix all the ingredients in one bowl, spoon into a tin and bake. It's just that easy and you might be tempted to have a slice yourself!

Storage

Keep this lamb meatloaf in the refrigerator in a sealed container and it should last up to 4 days. If you have a smaller dog (this fed my 4 happily over a couple of days) this dog meatloaf can be frozen.

To freeze, slice the meatloaf and place in zip lock bags for ease of defrosting. The slices will last up to 3 months in the freezer. To defrost place the slices in the refrigerator until thawed through. Reheat gently on either the stove in skillet or an oven for 5-10 minutes until warm throughout.

Recipe Tips

This lamb meatloaf mixture could be made in a muffin tin for smaller mini muffins

Add grated zucchini or chopped spinach for extra vegetables to the mixture.

If the meatloaf looks too oily when cooked, damp the excess oil with a kitchen towel. Too much fat can cause digestive issues, and lead to pancreatitis.
